Adding class attributes in bulk

Hi,

If I want to apply styles to consecutive paragraphs, how do I do that without going to code editor and adding/editing the class attribute to each one of them manually? Is there a way to select a range of tags/paragraphs and select a style to add?

thanks,
Laszlo

Put the styles you want in a .style1 statement for paragraph 1 and .style2 statement for paragraph 2 in the stylesheet. Then <p class="style1"> or <p style="style2"> at the head of each paragraph, or have I missed something?

These are two items I use for two types of captions:

.capt {
margin-left: 15%;
margin-right: 15%;
font-size: 90%;
text-align: justify;
text-indent: 0;
font-weight: bold;
}
.smcapt {
margin-left: 15%;
margin-right: 15%;
font-size: 90%;
text-align: center;
text-indent: 0;
font-weight: bold;
}

To apply paragraph styles to a limited number of paragraphs:

1. Press F2 to switch to Code View mode.
2. Select a couple of paragraphs with the mouse.
3. Right-click the selected paragraphs and select Mark Selected Text.
4. Search and replace the initial paragraph tag. For example:
Find:<p>
Replace:<p class="myclass">

You can also change the style of a number of paragraphs, by inserting a <div class="myclass"> tag before the first paragraph and a </div> after the last paragrah.

You'll obviously need to define myclass in a stylesheet and link it to the .html file(s).

Thank you, guys.
So it's html editing only. I was hoping for GUI support for what you achieve with addClass in jQuery, but on static html text.

The point at which to apply styling, which has priority, etc I am sure created more issues than John wanted to deal with. If it happened to work the way you wanted, I am sure there would be another faction asserting how nonsensical it was!
